To add some of the requested features to TenderDuty by fully rewriting the existing tool. New features will include: the ability to monitor multiple chains using a single instance; differentiation between types of missed blocks (e.g. where a pre-commit was seen but not included will be handled differently than a signature that was missing entirely); ability to alert on percentage of missed blocks over time, not only consecutive misses; a visual dashboard that displays missed blocks as a heat map over time (expanding on ping.pub’s uptime visualization); allow more flexible notification options: Telegram and Discord, and different severities for PagerDuty; a Prometheus exporter to allow visualization in tools like Grafana; alerts for nodes being down or lagging the chain’s head.

Tenderduty is regarded by many validators as an essential monitoring tool. These new enhancements will make it significantly more useful for validators.

This grant will serve to generate a world map which displays the location of full nodes pertaining to Osmosis and other blockchains in the Cosmos ecosystem, as well as key metrics to assess the performance of each node.

This dashboard will allow the community and the core team to visualize the actual decentralization of the Osmosis chain and spot clusters that could put the chain in danger. With such insight, the Osmosis community can coordinate with validators and have them more appropriately scattered around the globe – or simply move around their own delegations so that the voting power is more evenly distributed.

All That Node

To build an Osmosis simulator where users will be able to learn how to use Osmosis, and provide feedback based on their experience. 

The simulator will connect to the Osmosis Discord to enable any newcomer to learn and experiment with it, without having to do all the necessary steps to use Osmosis (e.g. KYC on a CEX, buy crypto, transfer to the Cosmos Hub, pay tx fees, etc.).

Phase will allow Osmosis users to automate investment strategies while generating yield on their investments. It will be built on top of Osmosis using CosmWasm smart contracts.

The first automated investment strategy they will focus on is Dollar Cost Averaging, with others in the pipeline. Their main goal is to have a fully functional and easy to use product that will allow users to maintain yield exposure while de-risking their investment into a token. Phase is also planning on having a token, a portion of which will be airdropped to the Osmosis community.

To show users a full pool breakdown of their portfolio with historical data and incorporate Osmosis pools into their APY explorer. Milestone 1 will include the completion of full pool breakdown using historical data of TVL, volume, liquidity providers, swap fees, LP token value, pool age, token supply, token age, pool age, audits and ratios such as volume to liquidity. Milestone 2 (completion) will include personal calculation features such as risk parameters, impermanent loss calculator, fee calculations and wallet history.

This will allow users to track their positions over many networks by aggregating multiple wallet addresses into a single view. Also, users will be suggested Osmosis pools for better yield APYs, which will encourage them to move funds into the Osmosis ecosystem.

This grant will serve to build infrastructure that will allow Regen Network to redirect a portion of their REGEN inflation directly to the REGEN/OSMO pool for external incentives. The completion of this grant will depend on the success of a governance proposal on Regen Network to increase inflation by 50%.

This infrastructure will benefit both Regen and Osmosis as it will incentivize tokenholders to provide more liquidity on the DEX. The infrastructure will also open up the doors for other networks to incentivize liquidity pools with inflation.

Sunshine Validation

The initial funding is a retro grant for what the REstake team has built so far. The completion grant will be to build a delegation tool using the AuthZ module.

REstake's delegation tool will enable tokenholders to delegate their voting power to delegates which may not be validators. This new class of delegates would sit between tokenholders and validators.

Tom Beynon

To build support for all Osmosis chain specifics, as well as CosmWasm contracts. The toolkit will monitor a stream of security-focused Osmosis events in real-time and allow users to set custom smart contract alerts, that trigger when specific conditions are met. Milestone 1 will include Osmosis + CW support and the implementation of custom alerts; milestone 2 will involve the implementation of the stream of events feature.

Access to real-time monitoring tools that can trigger custom events, fire alerts when an exploit is happening, or detect bugs after deployment will increase the overall security of the Osmosis chain and other apps built on top of it.
